Suggestions and support are always welcome. ---- FWIW - I am in a similar situation where I am running CentOS 4 and resorted to using fcgid for interaction with ruby on rails since Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy_balance hasn't been available to me. See the OP trying to implement rails/apache-2.2/mod_proxy_balancer/mongrel solution which is at the moment, the high performance solution - much more so than apache-2.0 or lighttpd with fcgid. I would love to see Apache 2.2 packages (perhaps built against the PHP-5.x packages also in dev.centos.org) built but so far, that only makes 2 of us. I should note though, that I anticipated simply upgrading this server to CentOS-5 in order to achieve this when it becomes available/stable in order to switch over to Apache-2.2. I do appreciate all that you have done - especially the ruby packages in dev.centos.org which I have been using for nearly 10 months now. I can also appreciate that a one-time roll of the packages is one thing but it almost becomes a commitment to errata re-rolls too, which given the history of apache & php, is not infrequent. Craig
